The Zionist are endeavoring to achieve their long cherished goal of a Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates, the evil expansionist design of the Zionist, after the occupation of Jerusalem and Qods are to annex the holy land and places of the Muslims such as the Ka’aba and the Holy Mosque of the Prophet (S.A.W). When the Zionists force defeated the Arab Army in 1967 and occupied the West Bank, the Gaza Strips, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, Late Imam Khomeini had warned the Muslim nations about the malicious intentions of Israel.
Reza Shah Pahlavi, the consciences and callous emperor of Iran, who had collaborated with Israel at the behest of America by supplying oil to Israel, was time and again warned by the Late Imam in public speeches not to have ties with the Zionists.
The naked aggression being committed by the Jews in Palestine invites our serious attention. The Palestinian freedom fighters must be duely supported by provision, arms, and ammunition, International Qods Day celebrated on the last Friday of every Ramadan at the instigation of Late Imam Khomeini, is a call against Zionism, racism and imperialism. It makes this plight the issue of the whole Islamic world, not only the issue of the Arabs. This day reveals the glory and revival of Islamic values and grandeur. This day uncovers and unmasks the tyranny, atrocities and aggression of Israel of the innocent and armless Palestinians.
In 1897 at Basel, Switzerland, Theodore Herzel founded the Zionist Movement for procuring land to establish a Zionist state. The newly conquered territories of Uganda, South America and Central Asia were the original places of choice. But after the end of World War I, the Zionists, with the alliance of the British, chose Palestinians lust valley along the Jordan river for their perfidious designs. From 1918 to 1948, the British crown ruled Palestine. For Jewish services rendered to the British, they confiscated the territories of the native Palestinians and planted Jewish immigrants from Europe in their stead. The British armed the Jews and protected them, while the native Palestine were exiled and crushed. On May 15th 1948, the British gave the Zionists the mandate to usurp all the land of Palestine. The Palestinians were forced to flee, leaving their homes for the Zionist.
As is well known , Israel is fully backed by America. Since December 8, 1987, an articulate case for the ouster of the Zionist from Palestine is being waged by the Palestinians. Protest continues to sweep through the occupied west bank and Gaza strip. It is truly said that casualty toll in the most serious threat to Israeli credibility in decades is still rising as Zionist soldiers continue to open fire on demonstrators. Even mosques have been assaulted, refugee camps closed down, houses razed to the ground, Young Muslim boys buried alive, babies killed, curfews clamped, many youths deported and thousands have been persecuted, arrested and detained. Yet all those stringent measures have failed to stop the unrest. The uprising is vital and effective as it is infused with an Islamic revolutionary spirit. The echoes of “Allah Akbar” engulf the occupied Palestine from dawn to dusk.
As inquiry magazine wrote : The truth of the matter is that Islam has come back into the picture in a definite way. There is no mistaking the strong Islamic factor in the whole process in the use of mosques as staging points, and in the slogans which decidedly Islamic”. The new generation of Palestinians has realized the futility of narrow nationalist idea in freeing them from the yoke of Zionist. For their deliverance from the claws of the Zionist, they need to rely on Islam more than anything else. They also need to mould their live according to the ethical principles of Islam and leave the Western culture.
The emergence of Israel with the vulnerable support of the West is not only a standing challenge thrown by the Imperialists but is also a dagger sunk deep into the back of the Muslims. Some of the Muslims states, acting as playthings in the hands of America, are also the cause of the Palestinian misfortune. Those stooges of America must know that one day they will also suffer at the hands of the Zionist as the Palestinian are suffering today. They all need to be united to liquidate Israel.
It is beyond any doubt that all anti-Semitic European nations wanted to stab Muslims with a double-edged dagger. On one hand, they wanted to get rid of the Jews excising their influence on the policy and economy of the Westerners and on the other hand, they wanted to create a Zionist state, amidst the Muslim states for a sound footing for Western Imperialism. The Christians of America and Western Countries want the Israelis to be more secular, but at the same time they want them to be more racial and religious against the Muslims of the world. This nasty political game which the westerners are playing in Palestine. The Christians world intends to strengthen the Jewish state as a Pro-Western colony, the Americans do not want to see any Muslim state make scientific progress or advance on technology. They are afraid of Muslim countries possible nuclear power. They want us to remain under their permanent subjugation on the fields of politics, economy and technology. Unfortunately, we have many conscienceless Muslim rulers who are in the lap American diplomacy. Western imperialist very tactfully made this issue a problem between Jewish nationalism and Arab nationalism and localized the problem of Palestine as a problem of Arab qua Arab not qua Muslims.
The reactionary Muslim government unfortunately depend upon America and Britain for the solution for Palestine problem. The same is true of the Zionist state and the reactionary Arab governments with regards to the solution of the problem of Palestine.
The issue must be Islamized ideologically and Pan-Islamized politically, Late Imam Khomeine had rightly said:
“If every Muslim were to throw bucket full of water , a flood would sweep away the Zionist entity”.
This issue can be solved in the light of an Arabic proverb “Iron cut Iron”. The Muslims must make advancement in arms to fight the arms of Israel supplied by America. The Jews and the imperialist do not understand the language of peace and civilization. They believe in naked aggression and atrocity, Herzel, the father of Zionism, confesses in his booklet the Jewish state, “indeed every point which arises in the relations between nations is a question of might. In the world as it now is, and for an indefinite period, will probably remain the same”.
These are the words, not of Moses, but of Herzel who wanted to revive Judaism in the form of Zionism. Now let the peace lovers decide who the aggressor on the land of Palestine is. What policy can the Muslims all over the world form to face the peril and menace of the aggressors? Whether it is Palestine or Kashimir, or any other usurped land, the Muslims will have to unite and make progress in fields of science and technology to face the might monster of Western Imperialism.
It is true that the former return of the Jews, in 538 B.C by the permission of Cyrus was a divine culture when the Jews adored God and lived peacefully. Then presented return of the Jews to Palestine is an attempt to sow the poisonous seed of pagan and secular culture in the Holy land through the means of Lilliputian nationalism. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon on June 6, 1982 manifest the savage and devilish mentality of the Zionists.
Palestine is a window for penetration other parts of Muslim land for Israel and Western Imperialism. Dr. Allama Igbal had corrected said:
“In fact, British imperialist sought a home for itself in the form of a permanent mandate in the religious form of the Muslims”. The Balfour Declaration of Britain was a foundation stone for the edifice of Zionist entity in Palestine. This land had a special strategic , economic and sacred position for centuries. It is the heart of the Arab world and no one can live without a heart. The Arab will perish if they do not turn the Jews out of their land.
Israel has been created by the imperialist to have direct control over the jugular of the Muslims. Israel is tool in the hands of America to be used against the Muslims. Analysts of the Palestine situation maintain that for Britain, the road to the sub-continent was a special priority and importance, especially after digging the suez-canal, which borders, Palestine. Palestine was a passage, the stepping stone and the main bridge across the three continent of Africa, Asia and Europe. To control Palestine is the best means to keep controlling Asia and Africa. America succeeded in getting a resolution accepted of the partition of Palestine into two state, one for the Zionist and another for the Arab Palestinians, on November 29 1947. The Palestinians were exiled from their homeland. The Jewish immigrants from five continents with different race, language and culture were planted in Palestine. With the monetary and military support of Britain and America, the creation of Israel was declared on May 15, 1948. This event occurred about one year after the creation of Pakistan in the name of Islam. The British colonialists deemed it imperative to create a country in the name of Judaism against Islam. Since the creation of Israel, the Jews have usurped the Palestinians, Syrian and Egyptian lands the expansionist ends of Israel are constantly being buttressed and propelled by America. The bloodshed cannot be avoided unless we become realistic and humanistic.
The Holy Qur’an has ordained the Muslims not to have friendly ties with the Jews and the Christians as they are friendly with each other and are foes of the Muslims. This Qur’anic injunction proves true in the shape of Palestine –Israel conflict.
